Abstract
In this paper, a technique has been proposed for detecting edge in medical images throughput from computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging devices. The proposed technique is Gabor wavelet transform along with two clustering methods i.e. Fuzzy c-means with k-means which is used to adorn the edge information while suppressing noise.
